    “We spent nearly a decade billing growing companies in six-minute increments for the same questions and the same contracts. That model works for the firm. It rarely works for the client.”

    Kent Grover — Co-Founder, Outside General Counsel

    So the firm was built the other way. A fixed monthly fee, a capped roster, and a senior attorney who already knows the business well enough to answer without a memo.

    How we work.

    Depth

    A small roster

    We go deep on a small roster rather than spreading thin across hundreds of files.

    Response

    Four-hour commitment

    We reply to new inquiries within four hours on business days.

    Alignment

    Attorney-owned

    Your attorney owns the firm. Aligned incentives, not billable hour pressure.

    Capacity

    Capped intake

    We cap intake so your attorney is never stretched too thin to think clearly.

    The Partners

    The attorneys behind every matter.
